Hi,
I feed my cat Innova cat food, and he needs to switch to a lite food so that he doesn't gain any more weight (not obese yet, but slightly overweight).
Initially, I wanted to switch him to the Innova Lite, but I noticed it has significantly lower protein levels - in fact, it is one of the lowest protein levels I have ever seen in a non-prescription cat food. So I called Natura and talked to a representative who esentially gave me the run-around and never answered my question:
Why would they significantly lower protein levels in a lite food? --I have never known any other cat food to do this - in fact, many are starting to do just the opposite - up the protein, lower the fat.
I am a bit concerned about this - do any of you have any thoughts on feeding a low protein diet to an overweight cat?
Thanks in advance.
